There is no virtue in poverty; it is a disease like any other mental disease. If you were physically ill, you would think there was something wrong with you. You would seek help and do something about the condition at once. Likewise, if you do not have money constantly circulating in your life, there is something radically wrong with you. The urge of life principle in you is toward growth, expansion and more abundant life. You are not here to live in a hut, dress in rags and go hungry. You should be happy, prosperous and successful.
Cleanse your mind of all weird and superstitious beliefs about money. Do not ever regard money as evil or filthy. If you do, you cause it to take wings and fly away from you. Remember that you lose what you condemn. You cannot attract what you criticize.
Getting The Right Attitude Toward Money
Here is a simple technique you may use to multiply money in your experience. Use the following statements several times a day, “I like money, I love it, I use it wisely, constructively and judiciously. Money is constantly circulating in my life. I release it with joy and it returns to me multiplied in a wonderful way. It is good and very good. Money flows to me in avalanches of abundance. I use it for good only and I am grateful for my good and for the riches of my mind.”
How The Scientific Thinker Looks At Money
Suppose, for example, you found gold, silver, lead, copper or iron in the ground. Would you pronounce these things evil? All evil comes from man’s darkened understanding, from his ignorance, from his false interpretation of life and from his misuse of his subconscious mind. Uranium, lead or some other metal could have been used as a medium of exchange. We use paper bills, checks, nickel and silver; surely these things are not evil. Physicists and chemists know today that the only difference between one metal and another is the number and rate of motion of electrons revolving around a central nucleus. They can now change one metal into another through a bombardment of the atoms in the powerful cyclotron.
For example, gold can be created by bombarding a sample of mercury-196 with neutrons in a nuclear reactor. The mercury-196 absorbs a neutron and becomes mercury-197, which is unstable and undergoes radioactive decay to become gold-197.
Similarly, silver can be produced by bombarding a sample of palladium-105 with neutrons in a nuclear reactor. The palladium-105 absorbs a neutron and becomes palladium-106, which is unstable and undergoes radioactive decay to become silver-106.
The cost may be prohibitive now, but it can be done. It is unlikely that any intelligent individual would perceive electrons, neutrons, protons, and isotopes as inherently evil. The piece of paper in your pocket is composed of atoms and molecules with their electrons and protons arranged differently. Their number and rate of motion are different. That is the only way the paper differs from the silver in your pocket.
How To Attract The Money You Need
Many years ago Joseph Murphy met a young boy in Australia who wanted to become a physician and surgeon, but he had no money. Murphy explained to him how a seed deposited in the soil attracts to itself everything necessary for its unfolding, and that all he had to do was to take a lesson from the seed and deposit the required idea in his subconscious mind. For expenses, this young, brilliant boy used to clean out doctors’ offices, wash windows and do odd repair jobs. He told Murphy that every night, as he went to sleep, he used to picture in his mind’s eye a medical diploma on a wall with his name on it in big, bold letters. He used to clean and shine the framed diplomas in the medical building where he worked. It was not hard for him to engrave the image of a diploma in his mind and develop it there. Definite results followed as he persisted with his mental picture every night for about four months. The sequel of this story was very interesting. One of the doctors took a great liking to this young boy and after training him in the art of sterilizing instruments, giving hypodermic injections and other miscellaneous first aid work, he employed him as a technical assistant in his office. The doctor later sent him to medical school at his own expense. Today, this young man is a prominent medical doctor in Montreal, Canada.
He discovered the law of attraction by using his subconscious mind the right way. He operated an age-old law which says, “Having seen the end, you have willed the means to the realization of the end.” The end in this case was to become a medical doctor. This young man was able to imagine, see and feel the reality of being a doctor. He lived with that idea, sustained it, nourished it and loved it until through his imagination it penetrated the layers of his subconscious mind and became a conviction, thereby attracting to him everything necessary for the fulfilment of his dream.
Obstacles & Impediments On The Pathway To Riches
You might have heard people say, “That fellow has a racket.” “He is a racketeer.” “He is getting money dishonestly.” “He is a faker.” “I knew him when he had nothing.” “He is a crook, a thief and a swindler.” If you analyse the man who talks like that, you discover he is usually in want or suffering from some financial or physical illness. Perhaps his former college friends went up the ladder of success and excelled at him. Now he is bitter and envious of their progress. In many instances, this is the cause of his downfall. Thinking negatively of these classmates and condemning their wealth causes the wealth and prosperity he is praying for to vanish and flee away. He is condemning the thing he is praying for. He is praying two ways. On the one hand he is saying, “Wealth is flowing to me now,” and in the next breath, silently or audibly, he is saying, “I resent that fellow’s wealth.” Always make it a special point to rejoice in the wealth of the other person.
Tip to Protect Your Investments
If you are seeking wisdom regarding investments, or if you are worried about your stocks or bonds, quietly claims, “Infinite Intelligence governs and watches over all my financial transactions, and whatsoever I do shall prosper.” Do this frequently and you will find that your investments will be wise; moreover, you will be protected from loss, as you will be prompted to sell your securities or holdings before any loss accrues to you.
You Cannot Get Something For Nothing
In large stores, the management employs store detectives to prevent people from stealing. They catch a number of people every day trying to get something for nothing. All such people are living in a mental atmosphere of lack and limitation and are stealing from themselves peace, harmony, faith, honesty, integrity, goodwill and confidence. Furthermore, they are attracting to themselves all manner of loss, such as loss of character, prestige, social status and peace of mind. These people lack faith in the source of supply and the understanding of how their minds work. If they would mentally call on the powers of their subconscious mind and claim that they are guided to their true expression, they would find work and constant supply. Then by honesty, integrity and perseverance, they would become a credit to themselves and to society at large.
Your Constant Supply Of Money
Recognizing the powers of your subconscious mind and the creative power of your thought or mental image is the way to opulence, freedom and constant supply. Accept the abundant life in your own mind. Your mental acceptance and expectancy of wealth have their own mathematics and mechanics of expression. As you enter into the mood of opulence, all things necessary for abundant life will come to pass. Let this be your daily affirmation; write it in your heart, “I am one with the infinite riches of my subconscious mind. It is my right to be rich, happy and successful. Money flows to me freely, copiously and endlessly. I am forever conscious of my true worth. I give of my talents freely and I am wonderfully blessed financially. It is wonderful!”
Step Up This Way To Riches
1. Be bold enough to claim that it is your right to be rich and your deeper mind will honour your claim.
2. You don’t want just enough to go around. You want all the money you need to do all the things you want to do and when you want to do them. Get acquainted with the riches of your subconscious mind.
3. When money is circulating freely in your life, you are economically healthy. Look at money like the tide you will always have plenty of it. The ebb and flow of the tide are constant. When the tide is out, you are absolutely sure that it will return.
4. Knowing the laws of your subconscious mind, you will always be supplied regardless of what form money takes.
5. One reason many people simply make ends meet and never have enough money is that they condemn money. What you condemn takes wings and flies away.
6. Do not make a god of money. It is only a symbol. Remember that the real riches are in your mind. You are here to lead a balanced life – this includes acquiring all the money you need.
7. Don’t make money your sole aim. Claim wealth, happiness, peace, true expression and love and personally radiate love and goodwill to all. Then your subconscious mind will give you compound interest in all these fields of expression.
8. There is no virtue in poverty. It is a disease of the mind and you should heal yourself of this mental conflict or malady at once.
9. You are not here to live in a hut, to dress in rags or to go hungry. You are here to lead a life more abundant.
10. Never use the terms “filthy lucre” or “I despise money.” You lose what you criticize. There is nothing good or bad, but thinking of it in either light makes it so.
11. Repeat frequently, “I like money. I use it wisely, constructively and judiciously. I release it with joy and it returns a thousandfold.”
12. Money is not evil anymore so than copper, lead, tin or iron which you find in the ground. All evil is due to ignorance or misuse of the mind’s powers.
13. To picture the end result in your mind causes your subconscious to respond and fulfil your mental picture.
14. Stop trying to get something for nothing. There is no such thing as a free lunch. You must give to receive. You must give mental attention to your goals, ideals and enterprises and your deeper mind will back you up. The key to wealth is the application of the laws of the subconscious mind by impregnating it with the idea of wealth. (Excerpt from ‘The Power of Your Subconscious Mind’ by Joseph Murphy).
